Proposal for curbing gun homicides: Socialism

The best predictor of high homicide rates in a region, they asserted, is income inequality. .....I find it persuasive, especially because it points toward an attractive solution to high homicide rates: a more equitable economic system, perhaps with higher taxes for the wealthy and more generous welfare programs for the poor. In short, socialism. I hope that opponents of gun control will consider this modest, alternative proposal for reducing lethal shootings.
